Owen Trout & Dan Norman: Leigh Leopards sign forward duo
- Published
Owen Trout has made 51 Super League appearances
Leigh Leopards have signed forwards Dan Norman and Owen Trout.
Ireland international Norman has signed a two-year contract after leaving fellow Super League side St Helens.
Trout, 24, has spent the past four seasons with Huddersfield Giants, although his 2023 campaign was cut short by an anterior cruciate ligament injury.
He has signed a three-year deal, with head of rugby Chris Chester describing him as a "huge coup" for Leigh.
"He's got leg speed, he's a big body and he moves well for a big guy. He's been outstanding for Huddersfield,"
Norman, 26, who has been capped once by his country, has had two previous spells with the Leopards on loan.
He played in three Super League matches for the club on a month-long deal in June.
"He is a big, mobile, front row forward with good leg speed,"
"Having already had Dan at our club we can't speak highly enough of him as a player and a person.
"There are not many front rowers of his quality around."
